The Charles Pixley Story

The Battle Over 714X

Charles Pixley was recently released from a
federal prison camp outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His crime?
He had made available to the American public knowledge of and access
to 714X, a homeopathic camphor compound which is available to the
Canadian public and is regarded as a highly successful therapy
against cancer. After a lengthy court battle, which left him
financially ruined, Pixley was sentenced to nineteen years in federal
prison.

Even though he is a medical layman, Pixley's
story is similar to that of other scientists and physicians who
sought to defeat disease outside the accepted conventions of orthodox
medicine. The faces and names change, but the story is the same. A
physician, scientist or researcher seeks to develop or make available
a treatment for cancer or some other deadly disease. These are sought
out by patients who are in the advanced stages of their disease,
whose bank accounts have been drained by the medical establishment,
and who despair of finding a cure in those realms. As alternatives to
the established therapies are presented to them, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) sweeps in, seizing research materials,
patient lists and all assets in a fit of Gestapo-like fury.
Professional and financial ruin and sometimes incarceration are all
that is left for those who make treatment alternatives available to
the ill.

This was the experience of Charles Pixley. In
1989 microbiologist Gaston Naessens was acquitted of charges in
Canada that he contributed to the death of a terminal cancer patient
he had introduced to 714X. After that momentous three-year court
battle, Naessens' camphor-based compound was made available for legal
prescription by the Canadian Department of Health and Welfare.
According to Pixley, it has since been used with varying but
significant degrees of success by over 100,000 terminal cancer
patients without one instance of side effect. It is also inexpensive.

THE STORY BEGINS

In 1990 Pixley, his wife and an associate
started Writers and Research, Inc. in Rochester, N.Y. for the purpose
of promoting specific works they considered to be of immediate and
practical benefit to the public in regards to the fields of business,
environment, health and socio-politics. As they began to study the
fields of health and medicine they were excited to learn that
successful therapies for cancer actually existed, but were being
withheld from the public. They then formed the Institutional Review
Board (IRB) for the exclusive promotion of the research and
discoveries of Gaston Naessens and 714X, the homeopathic compound he
formulated.

Pixley told The WINDS, "One-hundred percent
of the people we were working with were final stage terminal
according to the standard oncologist. They had already completed
their chemotherapy and radiation and now were in a state where there
was no more money for them. They were at death's door as a result of
the [orthodox] therapy."

Pixley states that from the inception of the
IRB in April of 1992, they were visited regularly by the FDA who
"requested and received copies of all available research, toxicology
studies, spectrographic chemical evaluations, rat studies, patient
histories, books, tapes, and samples of the 714X." Even though they
cooperated fully with the FDA, in 1995 their office was raided.
Computers, books, tapes, business records and patients' personal
medical records were seized.

After several attempts, the U.S. Attorney
succeeded in having a Grand Jury indict him and his corporation as
co-conspirators for "conspiring to defraud the United States by
importation of an unapproved new drug," a felony under Title
18 U.S.C. 321. Pixley later determined through the Freedom of
Information Act that this FDA regulation had never been published in
the Federal Register and, therefore, was not promulgated according to
the law. This did not seem to matter. Pixley was ordered into Federal
Court in April of 1996.

As a defense Pixley planned to expose the
evident policy of the FDA to suppress life-saving therapies, both to
protect the profits of the medical/pharmaceutical cartels and to
carry out a larger agenda of population reduction. The prosecution
"filed a 'motion in limine', which was designed to prevent me from
saying anything or putting up any defense whatsoever," Pixley told
The WINDS. "Even though they didn't know what my defense was going to
be, they had an inkling that I was going to start accusing the
government of genocide" before the jury. "Their goal was to put me
away no matter what." Pixley was found guilty and sentenced to
nineteen years in prison. His sentence was later reduced on appeal to
a year and a month, partly, he feels, because he was allowed to
present arguments detailing the government's suppression of
non-orthodox therapies.

During his interview with The WINDS, Pixley
did not dwell on his trial and imprisonment or even his financial
devastation and lifetime status of "convicted felon." He speaks and
writes mainly of the medical monopoly and its protectors at the FDA,
as well as the thousands of cancer patients that are denied
alternatives. "In my view," he writes, "the ones who are being
punished are the American people who are denied access to life-saving
therapies."

THE MEDICINE WAR

Pixley states that until early this
century homeopathy, eclectic medicine and native herbalism
(naturopathic medicine) were the dominant therapies in the United
States. Up to 65 percent of the population received treatments from
these sources. Homeopathic medicine is perhaps the best known of
these alternatives today. Homeopathy, which essentially supports the
body's natural healing processes, was developed by Dr. Christian
Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1750's. This doctor also
coined the term "allopathy", which describes the established orthodox
medicine today.

According to Pixley, allopathy focuses on
disease as an external invader to be attacked with drugs, radiation
and invasive procedures. The disease is the focus rather than the
imbalances in the patient's body. Allopathic prescription drugs are
developed from active agents found in animals or plants (recognized
by homeopaths as beneficial in their natural state), extracted from
their natural source, and then synthesized and chemically altered to
increase potency. In their unnatural state these drugs become
poisonous, producing "side effects" and weakening the body's natural
healing mechanisms. Naessens' 714X is formulated to bolster the
body's defenses as opposed to conventional drugs, radiation and
chemotherapy which weaken them.

Pixley told The WINDS that in the early 20's
the giant Rockefeller trust took over the American Medical
Association (AMA) which then issued a report attacking homeopathic
medicine. The AMA, along with insurance and pharmaceutical companies,
promoted allopathic medicine because its scientific nature is easier
to dominate and profit from. Medical insurance became exclusively
devoted to allopathy and political lobbies brought government
support. Over time the alternatives lost significant income and
public recognition.

The resulting monolith that has evolved
during the rest of this century astounds Pixley and others like him.
The FDA, an agency with federal police powers, is dominated by the
massive allopathic drug and medical complex which uses those police
powers to enforce their orthodoxy on the rest of the country. Said
Pixley, "Regarding the FDA, you're dealing with an agency that is out
of control. You're dealing with a paradigm mentality. You're dealing
with billions and billions of dollars that are sunk into the research
mill. You're dealing with companies that take the results of their
drug testing -- phase one, phase two and phase three trials -- to the
FDA, and the panels that review that paperwork are chaired by members
of the board [of the submitting drug companies]. The official at the
FDA many times is from the [drug] company, who is now at the FDA, so
there is a revolving door policy."

LEGAL QUACKERY AND THE POISON CURE

Since President Nixon declared "war on
cancer" in 1971, the United States has spent tens of billions of
taxpayer dollars on cancer research, and is it any wonder that some
people have become outraged at allopathy's abysmal failure to find a
cure? After twenty-seven years the only treatments offered are
radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, two which are cancer causing and
all of which are devastating to the body's efforts to heal itself.
The long-standing survival rate of cancer patients using orthodox
therapies remains at 3%, yet, efforts to find alternatives still
excite the rage of the FDA Gestapo.

The abysmal failure of cancer research may be
found in the amount of money spent on cancer. Pixley
quotes Health United States, a government publication
which reports that 2,500,000 people in the U.S. die every year from
cancer, a number that is on the rise. Another writer claims that the
number of people dying from cancer every year is exceeded by those
making a comfortable living, mostly at taxpayer expense, in the
cancer research industry.

In addition to the pain, suffering and loss
of productivity inflicted by each case of cancer, there is also a lot
of money involved. Considering that treatment costs $80,000 to
$160,000 per person over the past twenty years, the cost adds up to
$200,000,000 to $370,000,000 per year and 50,000,000 lives, or a
total of $4 trillion to $7.5 trillion. The entire medical industry
represents one-seventh of the total American GNP at one trillion
dollars per year with revenues for all parties involved with cancer
at $400 billion annually.

Pixley pointed out that allopathy accuses
healing alternatives such as homeopathy of offering a false hope to
cancer patients, but all allopathy offers is the same old radiation,
chemo and surgery treatments that produce the same dismal results. If
a drug produced by a major drug company causes death or major side
effects (this has happened many times), you will never see a company
officer, research assistant or testing lab subjected to a raid,
indictment or jail term. This treatment is reserved for the
competition which may offer a much better therapy but threatens the
profits of the cancer industry.

THE QUESTION OF MOTIVATION

"Informed consent" laws require physicians
to advise their patients of the available therapies so they may make
an informed choice. Without a doubt, there is a conspiracy to exclude
non-allopathic therapies from the selection. Like many other
diseases, cancer is too profitable for a cure to be permitted. Arms
manufacturers in the United States increase their wealth and power by
influencing a policy of war in the name of peace. It seems evident
that the "war on drugs" is perpetuated not to eliminate the drug
problem, but to enhance the prison industrial complex, steal private
property and incarcerate and enslave the surplus population.

It appears that the drug/medical aegis
pursues the same cynical course in the "war on cancer", the apparent
goal not being a cure or effective treatment but a perpetuation of
disease for profit. It has been alleged that the social policy of the
brave new world order requires a reduction of population. The
tremendous volume of wealth flowing into the medical/pharmaceutical
research cartel has created a massive health care complex that
possesses, like some great beast, a keen instinct for survival. Both
social policy and hunger for corporate profit have combined to create
a system that loots the public, either directly or through tax
subsidy, and often creates a "final solution" as its final
product.

With a sense of irony, Pixley noted that
synchronously to the day of his trial the Second and Ninth Circuit
Courts of Appeal ruled that "doctor assisted suicide" is within our
constitutional right. As this story was bring prepared, Paul Harvey
announced that a study published in the New England Journal of
Medicine last April reports that six percent of physicians
surveyed assisted patients in committing suicide, either in
administering a lethal injection or in writing a prescription that
would do it. (Paul Harvey, ABC News, 8-12-98). The trends in
medically-induced death are accelerating at an astonishing pace.

The FDA and the pharmaceutical funded
"anti-quackery" groups claim to be protecting the public from
charlatans and snake oil salesmen. While it may seem reasonable to do
this, what the government has really done is remove all freedom from
the individual to study the alternatives and then choose the therapy
he/she deems best for his/her own body. Both information and access
to alternatives are blocked by the police powers of the FDA, leaving
most people the choice between allopathic medicine or traveling
abroad for treatment.

While it is true there are alternatives that
may not be effective and even harmful, and that "snake oil salesmen"
undoubtedly exist, no real or alleged threat justifies removing the
freedom of the individual to choose for him/herself, putting
everyone's health under the control of a group of self-appointed
medical oligarchs. This group of profit-mongers are the real snake
oil salesmen.

WHAT IS 714X ?

Pixley stated that 714X is not a panacea.
It is merely a part of a "holistic therapy" which may include
"specific proteolytic enzymes with a detoxifying diet,
vitamin-mineral supplements and a strict avoidance of deadly
therapies." He emphasizes that people cannot be standardized and must
inform themselves as to what is best for them.

Even though many patients who turned to 714X
were in the terminal stages of cancer, there were a significant
number who experienced reversals in their disease. "At that stage the
conservative estimate is twelve percent long-term survival, but
realistically it's more like fifty percent," Pixley said.

Near the end of his interview with The WINDS
Pixley gave a definitive overview of FDA policy. He said:

"Here is something [714X] that is proven and
known for twenty years to reverse cancer. Sometimes terminal cancer
is eliminated in ninety days. Rather than showing me how to get this
approved [by the FDA] because it is such a wonderful thing, they make
it so difficult. They first threaten you. If you don't obey, they
send the FDA police and then if you don't comply, they indict
you.

"The FDA should be proactive. If there is a
cure, they should do everything in their power to make sure the
American public has it. When the FDA covers it up or blocks it,
that's genocide."

In addition to interviewing Pixley, The WINDS staff referred to the
following source material for this story:

1. YOGA FOR THE 21st CENTURY, an article by Charles Pixley, 6-21-98.
2. An open letter by Charles Pixley reviewing standard medical practices and the alternatives.
